Fashion Over Fifty: Spring Florals

Hello!  Spring very briefly made it to Wisconsin (since then we got another snowfall and are currently back in the 20's and 30's)  so I took advantage of it by wearing this semi-spring outfit.  It was still too chilly to go without a coat, so I wore my quilted blush jacket last seen HERE to keep me warm.  I carried a mustard yellow purse.

 After years of only being able to visit a Francesca's store in Chicago or Minneapolis, one has finally come to my local mall.  Needless to say, I spent a small fortune there, and this was one of the pretty clothing items I purchased.  It is a sheer top with a beautiful vintage floral print.  I wore a pink tank top underneath.

 I wore light blue skinny jeans by MNG,  to keep the outfit from looking too feminine.  I completed the glam look with pink heels from Payless.   I usually don't buy shoes from Payless, but these were so cute I couldn't resist.  Plus, because the color is so trendy, I didn't want to spend a lot of money on them and not get much use out of them, so to Pay Less made a lot more sense!

 I wore a layer of opal and pink pearls  mixed with a chain for jewelry.  It was a challenge to decide whether to even wear jewelry with this blouse, and also to find something that complimented it and not clashed with it, but I did.

 My Payless shoes! I love the fun color and the heel!

It may not look or feel like Spring quite yet, but I'm still going to dress like it!

Have a great day!  Amy

Lets Sail Away!

Hello!  I have a sweet CAS card to show you today.   I picked up this scenic stamp at a local fabric and crafts store because I thought it would make really quick, easy, masculine cards which I am always in need of.

The image is by Stampendous and is called 'Sailboat Bay'.  The sentiment is by Kolette Hall.

I simply stamped the image with Stazon ink onto watercolor paper and then watercolored it using watercolor pencils.  I added a sentiment below the image, and rounded the corners of my main panel, and wa-la the card is done.  Love.  Don't you just wish you could be on one of those sailboats right now?  I do!

Have a great day!  Amy.

Picturing You!

Hello!  I pulled out my retired Stampin Up! set 'All in the Family' and 'All in the Family' accessories to make this fun CAS card.  I used Spellbinder's Nestabilities to create the camera and film strip.   The sentiment is from another retired SU! set.  I popped up the balloons and present on dimensionals, and added Crystal Effects to make them shiny.

 The images were colored with Copics, and I added an adhesive crystal heart for embellishment.

Have a great day!  Amy
